Thanks for the comment. I am using an ARC10 and moving to the next level. My opponents are now semi-pro and sometimes the pro themselves. Altho the ARC10 does everything right it is not particularly excel at one thing. I am looking for more power/speed with little sacrifice for feel/control. The ARCZ is a special case tho, the sensation of playing with it is sooooooooooo different than the other rackets. I love it very much but the inconsistency with the smaller head and way too thin and fast frame results in miss hit and cracked head. I'm deliberately into ARCZ, F9, VT70-80 or BS11. The BS11 is sure fast and packs a punch but the feel is not very solid. The Voltric series are nice in attacking and ok indefense with great feel to them but a little demanding sometimes. I still have not had chance to try out kason rackets -_-

Hehe, no worries. Judging by your preferences, I would say actually either BS12 or F9 would be great for you (my friend has a BS12 and he tells me it's very similar to F9). I've not used any voltaic except ZF and 3 so I can't comment much but ZF isn't bad at all. It's nowhere near as quick as the arc series in my opinion though. So again, I'd recommend F9 for you then based on what you've said

I have recently purchased f9 second hand through online. I tried it yesterday. The forehand strokes are fast and powerful. I especially like the smash. The back hand is decent. I may need to adjust the back hand timing a bit. It felt a bit slow. I was itchy yesterday,so i took it out for short stroke. Today i will test it in games. From what i feel yesterday, the racket feels like a beast. There is so much room for power. Even while i was stroking for fun, the power was there. There is one con though. It felt so fun smashing with it that i may tire myself out before match is over. Even my arms is slightly sore from yesterday. That was surprising since i am used to stiff and heavy rackets like sw35 and volt80.

Yeah, bro, i really2 agree with u, im used to stiff and head heavy racket also like at900p, n90 and tk8000, and i want to say that f9 95% perfect, in all terms,

All these good reviews for F9 are starting to seduce me, I've been using N70 all these while and deeply in love with it but sadly it's now broken. I assume there won't be much difference between these two rackets? What you all reckon? Except maybe the price, N70 is still pretty expensive although it's an old racket

The F9 may drop in price too once Li-Ning officially releases the N9 and N7 (presumably these will be the rackets CY/FHF will use - but the pair have been performing quite badly lately so we do not know how long the CHN team will continue putting them as their poster MD pair).
